After the X , 8 , O , A and V body shapes , all that's left is for Stéphanie, Gualap image consultant, to reveal some details about the H body shape .

The H-shaped morphology

Also known as a rectangle body shape , it is characterized by a very slightly defined waist and hips that are the same length as the shoulders. Do you really know what assets to highlight in your figure? We tell you everything in this guide!

The H-shaped body shape has many advantages such as structured shoulders and perfectly proportioned hips .

The must-wear pieces

When shopping, keep in mind that you should select clothes that create the illusion of a defined waistline.

Dresses and skirts

For a successful look, the high waist is one of your best allies . Choose a pleated skirt , ruffled, short or long . As for dresses, choose cuts with balloon sleeves to create volume. The wrap dress is also a perfect model for your body shape.

Tops

You're free to choose the tops of your dreams . There's no such thing as a fashion faux-pas when it comes to tops. We offera selection of tops : blouses, V-neck t-shirts, backless tops, shirts... Beautiful pieces to enhance your figure.

Pants

Do you have a pair of cigarette pants in your closet? If you don't already, go buy some. They're the absolute essential for flattering a rectangular body shape.

As with skirts, I recommend wearing high-waisted pants . They go well with many other types of items: sweaters, t-shirts, leather jackets, etc. The choice is yours!

Keep in mind that you should opt for pieces that balance the proportions of your figure.

Swimsuits

Play with the cut of your swimsuits to flatter your figure. Choose swimsuits with asymmetrical cutouts over swimsuits with horizontal stripes.

Parts to avoid

One thing is certain: oversized pieces don't flatter your figure. In fact, they tend to make you look fuller.

Avoid monochrome looks. Wearing a single color tends to " flatten" your silhouette. 

Accessories to harmonize an H-shaped body shape

Accessories add both a finishing touch and a modern touch to an outfit. They instantly add style.

Three must-wear accessories

The belt

The belt is the essential accessory for the H-shaped body. It helps to mark the waist .

For example, if you have a loose dress lying around in your closet and you don't dare wear it because it doesn't necessarily flatter you. Don't panic! Add a belt around your waist or hips and you're done! Choose a thin belt instead of a thick one.

The jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, opt for a mid-length necklace ; it perfectly finishes off an outfit. It's up to you to choose the design of the jewelry, while remaining in keeping with your style.

The shoes

Buying shoes is often compulsive and unthoughtful... And yet when you have an H-shaped body, there are shoe models to favor more than others. Opt for heeled ankle boots rather than boots to break up the "rectangle" side of your silhouette .

Now you know everything about the H-shaped body!
